Verse 1:
      C
Well blue skies and hillsides

feel so far away
       Am
And I wrote in my notebook

that I've seen better days
          F
Than the ones as of late
   G
I can't bear the weight
      C
The rain won't stop pouring

out my window pane
        Am
And I haven't left my bedroom in 76 days
        F
I wish something would change
       G
Cause I'm losing faith

Chorus:
       C
So I brought it up in a desperate prayer
Em
  Lord, why are you keeping me here?
F
Then He said to me,
G
Child I'm planting seeds
C
I'm a good God

and I have a good plan
    Em
So trust that I'm holding a watering can
 F
And someday you'll see
        G                C
That flowers grow in the valley

Verse 2:
        C
So whatever the reason

I'm barely getting by
       Am
I'll trust it's a season

knowing that you're by my side
       F
Every step of the way
     G
And I'll be okay

Chorus:
          C
Cause I brought it up in a desperate prayer
Em
  Lord, why are you keeping me here?
F
Then He said to me
G
Child I'm planting seeds
 C
I'm a good God and I have a good plan
    Em
So trust that I'm holding a watering can
F
And someday you'll see
        G                C
That flowers grow in the valley

Verse 3:
      C
When I'm on the mountain

and looking down below


             Am
I'll see a valley of flowers

that needed time to grow
           F
And I'll thank you for the rain
     G
The hurt and days of pain

Chorus:
            C
And I'll bring it up in a grateful prayer
 Em
Thank you Jesus for keeping me there
     F
You know just what I need
 G
And you've planted seeds
        C
Cause you're a good God

with a real good plan
         Em
And you hold my world

And a watering can
F
So I can have peace
         G                C
Cause flowers grow in the valley
